Delayed Flexing in the simplest terms, is during the time that school comes back in, waiting to flex until after everyone else come back from the summer. Every body will wanna flex on them thotties when they come back from summer right? We’ll, wait till them broke ass boys are done and then come back one week looking fresh AF. Then you’ll stand out to them hot hunnies ya know?
Broke ass boy: Damn how is Tommy pulling all these hoes? I came back looking nice as hell and got no booty.
Other broke ass boy: Shit we all flexed at once and he waited to hella flex and now they don’t see us. He really got us with the Delayed Flexing
Brokeass boy: Fuck I guess

The act of bragging, recounting, one-upping, about a traumatic life event - physical (i.e. road rash, bad cramps, etc.), medical emergency (anything from a splinter to a widowmaker heart attack), mental health related (“The cheese slid off my cracker in 20__”), major life event (someone you loved croaked or croaked themselves), or emotionally inflicted (from a breakup to being gang raped by a whole Archdiocese of priests and nuns), even bemoaning one’s racial plight and/or difficulties associated with their sexuality/gender identification/you-name-it.
It is simply a ploy to garner sympathy and attention, perhaps intersectional leverage. Quite an effective strategic tool.

(Ned): “Did I tell you that I endured four weeks of chest pains before I had my heart attack, stroke, and Exploding Colon Syndrome?”
(Jacques): “Ya. Fifteen times since Juneteeenth. Maybe get checked for the ‘heimers, too. And quit with the trauma flexing. It pisses off everyone and makes me uncomfortable, you dong.”
